OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 19, 1913. Serial No. 755,486.

Patented Oct. 6, 1914.

' full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in oil burners, and more particularly to one adapted to be placed in the fire box of a cook stove.

The invention has for its object to construct a device of 'this character in an exceedingly simple manner, and one in which the oil is evaporated and mixed with air to form a highly combustible gas.

A further ob'ect of the invention is to so construct a device of this character that the same may be easily regulated.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the burner, with one spreader broken away to more clearly illustrate the structure. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a similar view on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing the numeral 1 designates a base having mounted upon its upper surface and adjacent ends thereof arcuate plates 2, said plates forming mixing chambers 3 and 4, the ends of which being provided with vertical slots 4c and through which air is admitted to said chambers.

Arranged in the spaces formed between the plates 2 of the mixing chamber 3 is a burner pipe 5 having formed in the upper surface thereof a jet 6, which is positioned in the mixing chamber 3. The inner end of the burner pipe 5 is closed by aplug 7, said plug also serving to close the end of the. burner pipe 8 which is arranged between the plates 2 of the mixing chamber 4, said pipe being also provided with a'jet 9 which is incloscd by the plates '2 of said mixing chamber. The outer end of the burner pipe curved upwardly as atlO and terminates in a llOllzontally disposed generating loop 11, which is formed from 'suitable piping. The burner pipe 8 terminates at its outer end in a curved portion 12 which in turn terminates in a generating loop 13, similar to the loop 11, and has its branch 14 connected to oppositely disposed elbows 15 and 16, the latter being in communication with a pipe 17 which has its outer end connected to a valve 18, said valve being arranged in spaced relation to a similar valve 19, sald valves being connected by a connection 20 which is provided with a nipple 21 to which is connected an oil feed tube 22, which leads from an oil tank (not shown). Connected to the branch 23 of the generating loop 11 by an elbow 24 is an oil feed pipe 25, which is also connected to'the valve 19 by a pipe 26 and-an elbow'27, nipple 2S and elbow 29. Rising from the base 1 are arms 30, the upper ends of which are forked and engage the branches of the generating loops 11 and 13, so as to prevent tilting of the burner pipesand loops when the device is in its assembled position.

. Spreaders 31 are provided and consist of circular plates 32- -havirig formed integral therewith, and diametrically opposite, curved arms 33. said arms being adapted to engage the branches of the generating loops 11 and 13 so thatthe plates 32 will be suspended directly above the jets 6 and 9 so that the flame will be spread sufficiently to thoroughly heat the generating loops so as to vaporize the oil as it passes theretlu'ough to the jets. The plates 32 of the Spreaders are provided centrally with rivets or studs 34 so that the flame will be impinged thereagainst so as to prolong the life of the Spreaders, which are subjected to intense heat.

Upon closing the valve 18 and opening the valve '1?) oil will only be fed to the as it passes through the loops, thus converting the same into a readily combustible gas which will escape through the ets 6 and 9, and upon proper ,feeding of oil to the loops the burner will continue its operation. Y 7 7 From the foregoing description it Will be seen that a burner has been provided Which loops .being arranged above the mixing chem hers, having their body portions spanning the burner pipes and mixing chambers, valves, oil feeding pipes leading from the valves to the generating loops, means for feeding oil through the valves and pipes to the generating loops, and Spreaders removably engaged upon the loops and above the jets, as and for the purpose set. forth.

In testimony whereof, I allix my signa- 25 ture, in the presence of two Witnesses.
